Solarr is a fictional character in the Marvel Universe.

Silas King was born in Carson City, Nevada. He was a latent Mutant who worked as a smuggler of illicit narcotics. On a drug run from Los Angeles to New York City, his van broke down in the Mojave Desert. Trying to make his way back to civilization, King spent several days out in the desert sun, which catalyzed his latent mutation. While recovering from sunstroke and dehydration in the hospital, he realized he could discharge the solar energy he had stored as heat blasts.

Calling himself Solarr, he began a criminal career in New York City by starting with bank robbery. This activity brought him into partnership with Klaw, and membership in the Emissaries of Evil led by Egghead. He repeatedly met defeat, and was eventually captured and imprisoned at the research center in New York State, where scientists studied his powers.

One of the other captives and subjects for study at Project: Pegasus was Bres, a member of the otherdimensional Fomor. Bres began to use his powers to manipulate the staff at the facility, and caused a guard named Harry Winslow to die of heart failure. Bres also freed Solarr from his cell. Solarr hated Winslow, and when he found his corpse he incinerated it. Bres used his magic to animate the charred corpse, which killed Solarr.

Powers

Solarr was a Mutant with the ability to absorb, store, and manipulate large amounts of energy from light, especially direct sunlight.

Other media

Solarr appears in the "X-Men Animated Series" episode "Secrets, Not Long Buried" as the leader of the mutant-supremacist "Children of the Shadow" and ruler of the mutant-exclusive community of Skull Mesa. He's aided by Toad and Chet, a mutant with phasing powers (an original character). In the episode his true name is not Silas King but Bill Braddock.
